joining me now, msnbc's krystal ball, and krystal, it seems to me that the tea party has had its effect on the nra, nudging them even further into the crazy season. >> yes, it seems to be. the nra is an elitist group, sending out the anecdotes, what you heard gail trotter remark about, they questions their membership that obama and the democrats want to come for their guns. and that has worked for a long time. but what we're seeing now, i think what we're seeing today is the death of a caricature, that stuff worked for so long. but what are we talking about? assault weapons ban, background checks for everyone. all of that makes reasonable sense to a lot of people, including a lot of nra members. >> frank smyth, take us through the journey that the nra traveled through, from 1999, taking a fairly reasonable position to where they are now. today, wayne lapierre's testimony, absolutely no law of any kind, the nra is opposed to anything anyone will propose. >> you have to remember, the nra was a moderate legislation in favor of gun control for most of its history through the late 19th centu

. >> so krystal, as a woman -- >> yes. >> right to choose -- >> yes. >> undue burden. what we heard from miss trotter is really an indication of feminist principles to uphold gun rights for specifically women. >> yeah. it's an attempt to use a liberal argument to advocate for no background checks, no assault weapons ban, the right to have an extended magazine. i also think there's an element of a caricature of a right wing republican caricature dying. the caricature has been democrats that want to take everyone's guns. they want to ban all guns. they want to make it so you cannot exercise your second amendment right at all. what you're seeing now as we're getting to the specifics of the policies, people saying background checks just makes sense. women can have guns if they want to have them, they just have to go through a background check. they should have to go through a background check. that's just common sense. does a woman really need an extended magazine to be able to defend herself properly if that's what she wants to do? and there's also an element, too, the in

>> joining me now, krystal ball, host of msnbc's "the cycle." krystal, not a single dot was connected to any other dot in the republican conspiracy theory dream of what happened here. >> and they have been waiting for this moment, for so long. and they got absolutely nothing because hillary clinton is so good in these situations. here is the thing that is so amazing about her and about her career in politics. you know, out of her husband's scandal and out of the republican absolute hatred of her, she becomes a senator and great senator. out of her presidential loss, she becomes secretary of state and is never more popular or esteemed. this was supposed to be the start of her political undoing coming into 2016, i think she emerges looking better than ever before. we're all reminded of just how capable and how serious this woman really is. >> steve clemens, she is also very difficult to lay a glove on as a witness in congressional hearings, which everybody learned in 1994, when she went around with the health care bill. the bill, it turned out, wa
